Jordan and Julien St. Croix could be mistaken for twins. Jordan and
Julien are 11-year-old cousins born twelve minutes and half a world
apart. The boys meet at the family ch teau in Saint-Di, France. The
cousins find a pair of perfectly matched rapiers while exploring
the huge old house. The swords once were owned and wielded by the
only known pair of identical twins born into the St. Croix family
line. The strange tingling in their hands should have warned them.
It happened every time they touched the swords. Something was very
different about the elegant weapons. Instead, they did what boys do
best. They playfully raised the swords, issued a made-up battle
cry, and clashed the blades together... changing their lives
forever. The swirling mists deposit the cousins in the 17th
century. Nearly four hundred years in the past, they discover that
the story behind a family catastrophe was anything but the 'simple'
truth. For those involved, it hasn't happened yet The twins'
ghosts, whose blades the boys now carry, reveal a tale of deceit,
greed and treachery which Jordan and Julian must somehow set right.
In the course of a single night, they must expose the truth and
unveil a murderer. Success alone will allow the magic that brought
them here to return them to their own time. Failure will leave them
trapped forever in the past. Faced with such a monumental task, the
boys do what they must: They screw up their courage and take up the
challenge "Permettez l'aventure de commencer "
